JILL SCOTT –  NOTHING IS FOR NOTHING

–

Arson is suspected to be the cause of the early Saturday morning fire that seriously damaged a building housing the Family Planning Association of Guyana on Croal Street, Georgetown.

This is the second fire in less than one month to have targeted the health sector, the first being the Medex Building at Liliendaal. The Family Planning Association off Guyana is a non-governmental organisation.

ONE-FUH-ONE JUSTICE IN GT

By Ewalt Ainsworth

Sometimes you simply have to laugh and don’t stop laughing about the creative one-fuh-one edict of justice in Gt. None can be more creative than President Bharrat Jagdeo marshalling the courts to dash out the injunction brought against the Ethnic Relations Council eight years ago as a fair and reasonable trade off for the courts dismissing a murder charge AGAINST HIS BLOOD RELATIVE FOR SHOOTING AN ETHNIC MINOIRTY 16 TIMES ON MERE SUSPICION OF THE MAN HAVINAG A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS WIFE.

Jagdeo good;
Jagdeo really really good. The Corbin case was brought eight years ago and this week as a trade off for a case that happened less than six months ago, a coup of justice was staged.

GEORGE TANDY – MARCH

It would be very unfair of the PPP government to deny Ms Debra Osmond-Backer at State funeral.  An altruistic legal luminary, human rights advocate, a woman of wisdom, fortitude and selflessness has been a relentless advocate for fairness and justice along the corridors of peoples in every package, race, class, age, sexual preference religion etal.

MALAYSIAN MAFIA IN MOLSON CREEK

One week after the disappearance of the MALAYASIAN Flight 370 should send a stern signal to the people of Guyana.
BOB MARLEY may have chanted that when the rain falls it does not fall on one man’s doorstep.  Malaysia and China…birds of a feather… and ilk may have issues with locating the airplane last Friday but in Guyana at almost the same time window, three TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS were fired for walking off their job while an approaching CAL aircraft was hovering in preparation for landing.

Initial reports suggest that the shift for

BODYGUARD WEMISS HINDS LOSES BATTLE

By EWALT AINSWORTH                              03 10 2014

Very early Monday March 3^rd in the Caribbean basin and ethnic enclave of Irvington there was a hush…a loud one too.  Tears were a poor substitute for horror. Danger lurked in the vanity room and a woman of distinction and abiding faith was fighting for her life.  The life of Sister Wemiss Grovesnor-Hinds was just about expired and the clarion call went out for a legal professional to come sit bed side.  Medical emergency crews had arrived but the focus was about disposing of her worldly possessions and legacy.

Wemiss turned 66 in February and was a shut-in for both church and Lodge meetings.  There were whispers about seasonal affective disorder; they were merely whispers. 

NEIGHBOR EDDY GRANT TURNS 66

Last Ash-Wednesday just out of Stations of the Cross ….church, some attending Caribbean massives questioned the ancestral roots of Guyanese Eddy Grant. There are some known knowns about Eddy.  His dad Patrick Grant better known as GOLDEN APPLE had one of the biggest used car dealerships two decades ago at Paradise on the East Coast.  And when he died a few short years ago, was taken back to Hopetown where there is a colony of Grants…loud and proud natives.  But Eddy attributes his heights to Plaisance and does an abna-babna when you question him keenly.  His creative persona permits him to be relevant and vibrant at another milestone.
The  church  folks  all knew and love his total body of  music and revere his humility,  diction, attitude, altitude and gratitude as he celebrated his 66^th birthday that day.  Bob Marley is also celebrating an anniversary this time of year.

PAWBENN 60th  BHAGWAT IN HAMILTON

BY EWALT AINSWORTH                 03 03 2014

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS FROM MACKENBURG

Originally the organizing wife of Brian Benn…PAWBENN, had place settings for 120 in an upscale restaurant in Hamilton, New Jersey.   But as the realism of 60 became an attitude the numbers were galloping to 325; counting of heads was aborted at that time.
The man in the man emerged. His passion was displayed in his gait; the purpose of his life became evident; the sound of his voice was cordial and the mission for a sound celebration was multiplied.

PAWBENN is an Attorney-at-law in the State of New Jersey capital of Trenton.

The cost was never counted and no abuses were recorded.  Dr Keisha Benn who was very impressive in her delivery learned on the job the common touch, influence and affluence of her dad; it was a bhagwat in which there was equity and equality in every measurable sense for a champion bubbler with deep roots in Berbice.
